    I was actually still a kid when it came out, but I've never heard anything bad about it from tv or media in general, they were all over the place on tv and they were always praised. I live in Italy though, so the way media reacted here VS how they reacted there is surely very different. I didn't really live that period of time like many of you probably did, since I didn't start using internet since close to 2007 maybe. I know the backlash by the fans and media was enormous and that it had severe consequences on the lives of Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best, but I do also know that critics received them well (not all, but most) when they first came out and started bashing on them a few years later when the hate from the fans couldn't be ignored anymore and the general consensus was now that they were bad movies. It was the start (or the continuation actually) of what has now become our world. Twitter isn't an echo chamber and it isn't necessarily toxic. I believe twitter to be kind of a reflection of how the world is going in this day, since almost everybody uses it and everybody on it has different opinions (on the same level as people in real life have different opinions, at least). Twitter just made it easier to feed the "drama machine" and to make situations that a couple years ago wouldn't have been a problem, a real pain. This is also a discussion that is WAY off-topic and very difficult to have, because once one goes into it, it starts also being about art industry, criticism, opinions and it just gets too big and drawn out, so maybe I'll shut up now

    I don't know if that's exactly the case, it is true that people hating on things wasn't as much of a big deal, but I'm not sure that media would hate things with you. From what I know, EMI and the prequels were generally well received when they came out at the time by media. Sure, people would complain in forums online and (in the Prequels case) maybe make a bit of a fuss in TV and in magazines. The thing that's changed today, and why it has become such a big deal, is that almost everybody today voices their opinions on every small little things that happens ever and thanks to twitter and hashtags and junk it reaches everybody else, so that what were 500 guys in a forum in the 90s, now are literally the whole population of Earth. Magazines and websites latch on to this kind of crap because drama makes numbers and they care more about numbers and sales than actual quality, and they feed the drama train that continues to go until the next thing to complain about comes and then it switches to that. Also, generally speaking, people tended to wait for things to be finished before judging and complaining about it.

    Tales has 4 or 5 hypnotized monkeys in the last chapter, so that's already more than monkey Island 2, not even counting the monkeys in the other chapters

    We are counting only the monkeys you can see right? Because technically there are thousands of monkeys you can't see in all of the games, except (maybe) monkey 2, because you go to Dinky Island and not Monkey Island, even though in Curse it is retconned to be part of Monkey Island, and that a vast amount of Monkeys actually do live there. So if we're going by that logic, technically Tales is the one with less monkeys, even though there are a bunch of monkeys in LeChuck's ship, I doubt they are even close as the entire monkey population of Dinky Island But yeah, I guess Monkey Island 2 only had Jojo and those two monkeys on screen, so I voted for that It totally is

    Big Guybrush And tiny Guybrush

    I'll play it on my mac (mostly because I don't have a Switch and don't intend on buying one) I'll certainly try the controller support though, and maybe go back and forth to see how it feels, but I'll probably end up using the mouse controls
  17. Wally B.
    I'll wait to listen it in-game before giving my judgement, even though I can already hear that it's a damn good arrangement, from what I hear, it does seem to me like it leans closely to MI1, but with Stan's constant chatter I can't really tell all the subtle changes in the arrangement. I do wish that every game got their own unique version of the song, like the first three did, but to be honest, it does make sense and is very fitting for the theme to go kinda back to the MI1 version, since the locations, characters, the plot and Guybrush's objective are so closely tide to that first game.

    Will nobody talk about how cool the Monkey Island theme in the background is??? That's probably what I'll do, pre-order it on Steam just to be able to have that stupid horse-armor-thingie for the Steam version, and then buy it whenever it comes on GOG just to have all my Monkey Island games in one platform where I can look at them all together and be happy

    How about replacing it with the Stan theme from Monkey2?
  24. Wally B.
    Ok, so I wasn't too far off, at least I asked my girlfriend earlier today what she thought and she said that she always thought the alley was behind the church, and when I come to post about it I find this and find out that (of course) she's right

    Excuse my crude drawing skills, but this is clearly what's going on here. I know it doesn't make much sense, but neither does the shopkeeper store.
